which values diversity.

The Academy is committed to developing
women of courage, compassion, and scholarship who responsibly

school for girls.

holistic approach to education by fostering the intellectual,
physical and moral development of the students.

at Holy Cross, students are encouraged to clarify their Christian
values, deepen their relationship with God and others and develop
individual responsibilities for promoting justice in the world.

School Reviews

Great theatre department! The department loves getting everyone involved, pushing them outside their comfort level, and showing them a new world of art that they have not yet experienced. If you are a regular thespian, or just want to try something new, the performing arts department has everything. They offer beginner classes for those who are new or uncomfortable and they have advanced classes so you can work your way up and challenge yourself. Even if you are not in a class, you still have an opportunity to participate in clubs, performances, and teams within the department.
